Remember the sand and the sea
The colors of the day
Music playing
When I smiled big
No worry in the world
My world

It was harder to forget than it seemed
Slowly realizing a lot of it wasn’t me

I can remember the sea
The sand
The colors
Music still playing

They’ve always been me
that smile on my face
colors on my cheeks
sea on my toes
love in my eyes
Your forgetfulness
on my sleeve
